Wide receiver Mike Hass, a former Biletnikoff Award winner who spent most of last season n the Seahawks’ practice squad, was released Thursday to make room on the 80-man roster for newly signed defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock.

Pitcock is on the field this morning as the Seahawks resume training camp after taking Wednesday off. The former All-American from Ohio State spent one season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007 before deciding he no longer wanted to play.

He’ll attempt a comeback with a Seahawks’ team that already has pretty good depth at defensive tackle, but is looking to find players wherever it can under new GM John Schneider.

Hass caught 220 passes for 3,924 yards in an outstanding career at Oregon State, but never has made it big in the NFL. He spent three seasons with the Chicago Bears, but played just one game.

He got into one game for Seattle last year, but has yet to catch his first NFL pass.

In other practice news, linebacker Aaron Curry is again not practicing as he apparently continues to be slowed by a concussion suffered in the opening day of camp.

And first-round draft pick Russell Okung continues to be absent as well as the Seahawks hit their fifth day of camp.
